Chapter 434: Gone

However, Xie Qiao had already said what she wanted to say. Since Ms. Qiu was still adamant about it, it was up to her.

Xie Qiao went home one step at a time, and Xie Pinghuai came back with Zhou Kaiyun.

The two of them kept a straight face, and they almost fought.

“Eldest Sister, I’ve sent him here. So, am I going to the Lin Residence?” Xie Pinghuai said to Xie Qiao.

His injured hand was still hanging on his chest.

“It’s rare for you to come home. Aren’t you going to stay home for a night?” Xie Qiao asked with a smile.

When Xie Pinghuai heard that, his expression was a little uncomfortable, “No, Aunt… said that she doesn’t have a son when she’s already old and insisted that I accompany her. She made me eat her cooking. It’s so annoying.”

Xie Qiao curved her lips slightly, “Is Aunt’s cooking good?”

“It tastes terrible. It’s just stewed bones. I want to throw up every time I eat it!”

These words were true.

Xie Qiao could not help but be amused.

It seemed that Lin Yaxiang was quite capable. How long had it been? She had already suppressed this kid’s temper.

Xie Pinghuai, was a pushover. Now that he had hurt his arm, it was indeed a time for him to be cared for. This aunt of the Lin family could take advantage of the situation and replace Ms. Lu.

Xie Pinghuai felt awkward under Xie Qiao’s stare. He did not dare to look at her. Instead, he glared at Zhou Kaiyun and ran away.

What a childish kid.

Zhou Kaiyun snorted and sat in the courtyard, “I’m not afraid of you. I’ll wait for Xie Pinggang here!”

“Not bad. You have a powerful imposing manner. I hope you can keep it up,” Xie Qiao nodded her head in praise. Then, she asked the steward to bring a table and chair over.

She was also sitting in the courtyard, but with a brush in her hand, she was reading while writing some notes, looking relaxed and at ease.

After sitting for a while, some servants were worried that she would be frozen, so they brought a few screens to block the wind for her.

Zhou Kaiyun looked at himself…

Sitting on the ground, he looked very embarrassed, like the shrew who was quarreling on the street and squatting on the ground…

Zhou Kaiyun stood up with a blushed face.

He was still young, so he stood properly.

The wind was cold, and he was shaking.

“If you can’t stand it, come and sit by my side. There’s a brazier here,” Xie Qiao said.

Zhou Kaiyun snorted, “No need!”

He was here to kill!

“Do you mean what you said? When he comes, you’ll close the door and no one else is allowed to help. He will let me attack him three times!” Zhou Kaiyun said again.

“Naturally,” Xie Qiao’s voice was gentle, “If you think that you can’t kill him within three attacks, I will let you attack him a few more times.”

“Don’t look down on me!” Zhou Kaiyun gritted his teeth.

He would definitely chop off his head with one attack!

Xie Qiao smiled and did not mind. She looked at the book in her hand and occasionally muttered a few sentences. The tone of her reading the book was slow and melodious. It was very pleasant to listen to.

Zhou Kaiyun was in a daze the entire time.

When his mother was alive, she loved to read to him.

However, his mother was dead! Gone, she was gone forever!

At that moment, the ghost of Ms. Qiu was not there, and Xie Qiao did not let her out.

It was because that ghost had been harmed in the academy, and she had to be put away to recuperate.

Xie Qiao waited patiently. In a while, she got people to serve snacks. They tasted very good, and there was even some steam and fragrance coming from them. They were so delicious that the rascal could not stop gulping.

“Do you want some? It’s very sweet,” Xie Qiao said.

Zhou Kaiyun almost cried.

His mother was dead. No one would care about what kind of snacks he liked to eat anymore!

However, this Xie Qiao was still bullying him!

He did not care about those lousy snacks. It was not like he had never eaten them before!
